Chapter 16: The Rabbit Shaves

Sun Siyuan prepaid the Shu family for two months, so there were only three taels of silver left in his hand, so he simply spent one or two silver to buy the family, and took out one or two silver to the Shu brothers to let them add another thousand chicks.

There is one or two pieces of silver left, put it on the desk, and the two of them have to look at it every day before studying, read it together, study hard, and have money every day! If the teacher is an old pedant, I am afraid that he will scold the two of them for insulting Sven, but Grandma Shu is an old woman who has experienced hardships in life, and her mind is clear, so she never minds this.

The rabbits at home have food and drink, and have nothing to do, so they can only do things every day.

On the hottest July day, the two of them studied with Grandma Shu during the day, and Zhao Youqian learned about the earth at night, and Sun Siyuan teased the rabbit.

The gray rabbit is not as thin and pitiful as it was then, and the white rabbit is fatter, Sun Siyuan thought that she could hold and play in winter, but now she caught the rabbit and shaved it, no way, the rabbit lost too much, she decided to solve the problem fundamentally.

The eight rabbits were all shaved, and the number of fur was still considerable, Zhao Youqian looked at the rabbits who were shrunk together and looked much smaller, and inexplicably thought of losing weight......

After the end of July, Sun Siyuan and Zhao Youqian also recognized the words of this world for three or four points, and asked Grandma Shu to write down the others, and made a copy like a dictionary, but Grandma Shu was not light. Sun Siyuan admires Grandma Shu very much, after decades of hardship, she has not been exposed to books, but Grandma Shu has memorized so many words in her head.

When Grandma Shu finished writing the dictionary, she seemed to want to say something, but in the end she gave up and only handed the book to Sun Siyuan, so that if she had money, she could buy some books to read and increase her knowledge, not just literacy.

Sun Siyuan responded, bent down in a proper manner, and raised the one or two pieces of silver above her head, Grandma Shu looked at Zhao Youqian who bowed with her, sighed, and finally took the silver, didn't let Sun Siyuan send it, and went home by herself.

The rabbits were very aggrieved by the shaved hair, and they were not active in eating, Sun Siyuan had no choice, and returned the shaved hair to the rabbits, anyway, she didn't spin this thing, it didn't matter, the rabbits took the hair into their nests, and when the new hair didn't grow, the little rabbit was born.

Four female rabbits gave birth to a total of twenty-three little rabbits, and the children in the village aimed at the little rabbits early in the morning, and then they came to catch the rabbits.

She is not reluctant, but after the last batch of rabbits were captured by the children, most of them were raised to death, Sun Siyuan felt a pity in her heart, this time she gave a good explanation to every child holding the rabbit.

No matter how the children dig out their hearts to feed their little rabbits, the adults are starting to get busy, and the grain in the field is beginning to be harvested one after another, and the agricultural tax will be paid in August, and the harvest will be less than the first two batches, but farming and paying taxes is a rule that has existed since ancient times, and no one feels reluctant.

At the beginning of August, Sun Siyuan's family began to harvest rice, the rice ears were full and fruitful, and everyone praised it when they saw it, and the three brothers of the Shu family came to help, and Aunt Mu's eldest son also came together. Sun Siyuan was a guest at Aunt Mu's house a few days ago, and chatted with Uncle Mu about some carpentry things, Uncle Mu benefited a lot, and asked his eldest son to give Sun Siyuan's family a hand.

When Sun Siyuan sent Grandma Shu home, he looked at his father's situation, pointed out several kinds of fish in the river, mixed with herbs and boiled to eat, but only a month, he was able to get out of bed, and in the long run, the recovery is unknown! Sun Siyuan asked them to keep it secret, but they remembered Sun Siyuan's kindness.

There are many people with great strength, the sickle is sharpened, the rice of six acres of land will be harvested in two days, just out of July, the weather is still very hot, everyone wants to catch the sun to dry the rice, no one wants to be lazy to rest, all the rice grains are harvested, Sun Siyuan calculated, there are 700 catties per acre.

This batch of rice Sun Siyuan did not secretly add space spiritual spring water, it all depends on planting effort to grow well, and other families have more than 600 catties of such planting, everyone has the joy of harvest on their faces, ordinary people's taxes are not heavy, 150 catties of rice or wheat per mu of land.

The increase in production of hundreds of catties suddenly made the villagers of Baguan Village a sensation in the town, after all, this is not which, but the villagers who grow rice, and even those who take care of the fine family, the yield per mu has reached 700 catties! The cultivation method of Baguancun was immediately popularized.

The next bumper harvest of green millet is to make this planting method widely known, green millet became food in the first year of this year, most of the people who planted it were seeds bought from the rice grain store in the town, all of which were planted at a glance according to the method that Sun Siyuan said, and the people with the lowest yield also had more than 400 catties, and the town had begun to buy green millet, two pennies a catty, which was more expensive than rice and wheat!

The direct economic benefit is the most stimulating, and everyone suddenly discovers the value of this crop, and the people who have been growing millet in the first place are even more surprised, they spend less effort and earn more money than before!

As for the price increase of fresh millet stalks for a period of time, these people don't care, and no matter how much the price increases, they don't earn as much as this green millet grains, and later the people who feed livestock buy old green millet stalks at a lower price, but they maintain the balance. After all, the green millet grains make money, and people don't care much about the remaining green millet stalks.

With the green millet noodles sold to the county seat, Pingdong Town suddenly became a famous town in Tongzhou County. Although there were not many people who planted millet together at the beginning, this was a sign that people from other towns also started to buy millet seeds.

The growth requirements of green millet are much lower than that of wheat and rice, but the yield is not low, and the price is not low, although this is only temporary, but it is believed that it will not be much worse in the future. As long as you are more industrious and reclaim more wasteland and mountainous land, there will always be something to gain.

Sun Siyuan's green millet yields more than 700 catties per mu, and the particles are full, Sun Siyuan dried it and put it in the house, and did not sell it. But rice, after removing the tax of 1,500 catties, leaving 700 catties, the remaining 2,000 catties were sold at the price of one penny, three taels of silver were given to the Shujia family for the month of August, and the remaining 600 wen and two people each added a set of clothes, and then bought some other household goods, and spent a clean spent.

The brothers of the Shu family are reluctant to ask for wages, and the father of the Shu family is now able to get out of the house, why don't the brothers of the Shu family remember this kindness, but Sun Siyuan is unwilling to save this money. There are many acres of land, there are 20 acres, but after collecting 300 catties of tax per acre, 500 catties of grain are also collected according to the population, thinking of the bitter faces of the three brothers at that time, how could Sun Siyuan not give this money.
